This is a Distance Learning College

The Skills Academy offers home study courses in Business, Computer, Sports, Creative and Technical studies designed to improve students’ skills in these fields of interest. A great benefit of enrolling for a programme at The Skills Academy is that all the courses are open access, which means that you don’t require a Matric Certificate to enter. You just need basic communication skills in English, as all course material and assignments are written in English. Affordable course fees enable students from all walks of life to obtain a qualification in the field of their choice, as financial assistance is available and no deposit or registration fees are charged.

Another benefit is that there are no exams for any of The Skills Academy courses, since assessment is done by means of assignments. Online programmes are also available to students who wish to obtain their Certificate or Diploma of completion electronically. The Skills Academy furthermore provides students with the opportunity to upgrade their courses at any given time, which means that if you want to obtain a qualification from an accredited partner college, you could be transferred to a similar programme to achieve this goal. This would involve extra costs as well as certain exam requirements, but students would then receive accredited qualifications that are recognised in the job market.
